To the Editor of the Dispatch: It i3 with a deep sense of my in- j ability to chronicle the scene witnessed by the writer on the 26th of Marcb, 1905, at the home of Mr. J. West Grim The day was an ideal one for March. As old Sol j peeped over the eastern hills with a j somewhat crimson face?a foretoken ; | of wiod?shed his golden rays on a ! i wnrlrl beautiful and crand to behold. I The diamond like dew drops sparkled in the early morning sun, a soft, gentle breeze blew from the south which fanned the rosy cheeks of those who wended their way to ; church, Sunday school and to the wedding. The feathered tribe of the forest sang their chirping songs of praise to the great G)d who gave j them being. Uader such scenes and i circumstances, "Mr. and Mrs. Par- j diggle were never more happy in j their Duptial bower' than Billy was j as he purneyed along to the mar- j riage feast in company with the de- | voted Mrs. Felix. We made the ac- i quaintance of new friends and warm- j iy shook the hands of old ones. Our mission was a happy one, be- ; ing to officiate at the marriage cere- i mony of Miss Lilly May, the charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J West Cnm to Mr. E Thomas Everette Morgan, of Columbia. On ar riving at our destination we found ' the beautiful parlor tastefully and ! artistically dressed by fair hands of loved ones. A number of relatives and special frieDds had been invited and were sitting and standing j around chatting sociatly when the hour arrived which was to mark the turning point in the lives of two j young, tender and loving hearts. ] The procession to the marriage altar j was led by Mr. Joseph C. Crim, elder j brother to the bride, with Miss Be- | atrice Backer, followed by the hand- j some groom and lovely bride, Mr. j E. Thomas Everette Morgan and : Miss Lillie May Crim, and faced Bev. I W. B Fsllaw, who performed the mar- j riage ceremony, thus making them j man and wife. Then came that part j in which all could take part in ?nd they did it and did it well. You may talk about your hotel menus and your campaign cues. You may talk about your May picnics, and all "sich", but the feast of good things I placed before us there in the beauti| ful home of Mr. and Mrs. J. West Crim was enough to tempt the appetite of the most dyspeptic and satisfy the inward cravings of the most voracious. All partook heartily | and Billy was loath to leave when he espied an abundance of cakes and Dice things in another room. Mr. | Editor, you just ought to have been -. - - - ** :_U? ?I mere, metutuiis ?uui ^cucim , pearance after dinDer would have been somewhat shaped like your old leather purse was when you returned last fall after the chase of the dues for the good old Dispatch. Mr. Morgan is an industrious young man formerly from Oconee, but now on the police force in Columbia. Miss Liliie is the elder ! daughter of our esteemed friend and fellow countryman, J. West Crim. They will make their home in the Capital City. Lexington's lost is Columbia's gain. It is a pleasure to be in the home of Mr. Crim. He is a carpenter by trade, but knows something afcoufarming. He has built a lovely twostory cottage, which is attractive, neat and comfortable. He has intelligent and up-to-date methods of farming, and the cotton he has on hand for better prices shows that he is up-to-date in the latest improvements in farming and lives at home independent of the present prices of cotton. He is not ignorant of horticulture either. Mr. Editor if you could see his fine cabbage you would agree with me. mu. i AUO Lltippy L'DU^ir, iu bJLU^aujr with friends and loved oDee, left for Swansea, where they took the train tor their future home, carrying with them the best wishes of friends for roses all along life's pathway.

Take No Substitute. Losses i& Battle. Dispatches from Manchuria state that the Dumber of men lost at the battle of Mukden will aggregate between 100,000 and 200,000, making it the greatest and most costly battle of modern warfare. It is estimated that more than three quarters of a million men engaged in the struggle in aod around Mukden. Accepting the respective estimates of the opposing forces?estimates which have never yet been exaggerated?the losses will easily aggregate one-sixth of the number of men engaged. With the exact figures yet unobtainble, a comparison with other great battles show Mukden's superiority. Men engaged. Losses.

Kidney trouble often ends fatally, but by choosing the right medicine, E. H. Wolfe; of Bear Grove, Iowa, cheated death. He says: ''Two years ago I had kidney trouble, which caused me great pain, suffering and anxiety, but I took Electric Bitters, which effected a complete cure. I have also found them of great benefit in general debility and nerve trouble, and keep tlieni constantly on hand, since, as I find they have 110 equal." Sold by The Kaufmann Drug co., druggist.
